| Curl is a tool for transferring files with URL syntax, supporting |
| FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP. |
| Curl supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, |
| FTP uploading, kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, |
| cookies, user+password authentication, file transfer resume, |
| http proxy tunneling and a busload of other useful tricks. |
| |
| See /usr/doc/curl-$(VERSION)/FEATURES for more info. |
| |
| |
| Dependencies: |
| - Cygwin |
| - OpenSSL 0.9.6b-2+ (*) |
| |
| (*) curl can be built without SSL support, see below for details |

| Canonical Homepage and Downloads: |
| https://curl.haxx.se/ |
| https://curl.haxx.se/download.html |
| |
| |
| Cygwin specific source files (a .README template and a Makefile |
| for building binary tarballs) are maintained in the upstream |
| CVS at: <srctop>/packages/Win32/cygwin/ |
| |
| |
| Build Instructions (to recompile from the cygwin source tarball): |
| ---STANDARD (with SSL) RELEASE--- |
| Download the source (either the official release or the cygwin version), |
| unpack it (done for you if using setup.exe), then: |
| |
| $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man # (*) |
| $ make |
| $ make test # optional |
| $ make install # (**) |
| |
| (*) The Cygwin project now (as of sometime in 2003) prefers man pages |
| within /usr/share/man, as opposed to the default /usr/man. |
| |
| (**) LibTool 1.4.2 had a bug related to cygwin's use of ".exe" extensions, |
| such that "make install" blew up at curl.exe. See this URL for details: |
| https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2001-09/msg00101.html |
| The copy of ltmain.sh that is distributed with curl includes this patch. |
| |
| As of curl 7.9.1, the official source compiles (under Cygwin) and tests |
| 100% cleanly OOTB (Out Of The Box) |
| |
| ---NO SSL RELEASE--- |
| Same as standard, except for the configure step, which changes to: |
| |
| $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --without-ssl |
| |
| NOTE: the standard release is what is available via Cygwin's setup.exe; |
| the no-ssl release is only available from the curl website |
| |
| |
| Packaging Instructions: |
| ---BINARY--- |
| Compile cleanly as described above, then: |
| |
| $ make cygwinbin CYGBUILD=n |
| |
| where n is the cygwin release number (e.g. the "1" in curl-7.9-1), |
| and "CYGBUILD=n" is optional (n defaults to 1 if not specified) |
| |
| Assuming everything worked, you'll find your binary tarballs in |
| $(buildtop)/packages/Win32/cygwin/ |
| |
| ---SOURCE--- |
| 1. download & unpack the pristine source |
| 2. rename the source dir to add the "-$(REL)" suffix, e.g.: |
| $ mv curl-7.9 curl-7.9-1 |
| 3. unpack the pristine source once more, so you'll end up |
| with 2 directories: "curl-7.9" and "curl-7.9-1" in this example |
| 3. add a CYGWIN-PATCHES directory, and add this readme to it |
| $ cd curl-7.9-1; mkdir CYGWIN-PATCHES |
| $ cp packages/Win32/cygwin/README CYGWIN-PATCHES/curl-7.9-1.README |
| 4. if applicable, document any changes in the README file |
| 5. create a patch which, when applied |
| (using `patch -p1 < curl-7.9-$(REL).patch`) |
| will remove any changes you've made to the pristine source: |
| $ cd .. |
| $ diff -Nrup curl-7.9-1 curl-7.9 > curl-7.9-1.patch |
| and then move it into the CYGWIN-PATCHES directory |
| $ mv curl-7.9-1.patch curl-7.9-1/CYGWIN-PATCHES |
| 6. pack the new source dir into a tar.bz2 file: |
| $ tar cfj curl-7.9-1-src.tar.bz2 curl-7.9-1 |
